Surely I'm not the only one who hates Elite figures?  Fair enough the detail is perfect (most of the time,) but I hate how the body bends in the middle (n)  The Defining Moments - Sting figure looks beyond perfection! <3  I have an Elite TNA Sting figure (Nervous Sting) which looks cool but again I hate the bend in the body I have recently ordered a basic Sting figure from the US that was part of the Sting/Hogan double pack (y) Just hoping that Mattel bring out a basic figure much like they did with the Hogan one!  Thoughts? |

I get what you mean but I just hate how clumsy and irritating the elite figures are when moving them about A basic sting figure of his current attire in WWE would be spot on! |

Elites are good for people who play or pose. I'm sure there is a plan for a basic Sting at some point. As the fellow above said, I'll take any Sting they give us.

I would play with my elites but i just cant cause there so hard to control and their limbs are all over the place I have a Nervous Sting figure that is elite that sits on my shelf along side the Defining Moments Hogan I just cant wait for the DM Sting! Probably the best looking figure I have ever seen! |

The ab crunch is my favourite part of elites.
A Basic Sting would be cool, I guess.

I think we'll get plenty of Stings I all varieties before all is said and done....
Just look at what they're doing with the Hogan figures currently..... Sting can't be too far behind.

Thats true, plus they know Sting figures will sell almost instantly! There is an Evolution of Sting boxset you can get from his WCW days which has every gimick that he had, from surfer to the crow, expensive to pick up from eBay now tho! |

I think we'll get quite a few Basic Stings (in time!)... I wouldn't be surprised if we get a Basic black & white Sting, soon after his DM figure (...to make use of the head again) - and also one based on his current/pre-Wrestlamania look. |

The thing is, they could make loads of WWE figures off him! his wrestlemania attire would be a great one, his crow on he has now and maybe his red facepaint he had going on in WCW as im sure Mattel would make a great figure from that! |

No i hope! I hope that mattel will stop with the basic style that use today and make basic like Kane Authority. I really hate the few legs articulations.... :/ I'd like to see each basic like that Kane!

The one thing I hate about the new Mattel figures is that the boots bloody twist 360 degrees which makes playing with them so annoying I just end up super glueing them in place I have the Kane masked Mattel figure but not the black trousers one |

My five year old son has about 25 elite and 1 basic figure. He broke the basic because he was mad it didn't bend good. He tried hard to make it bend good

I just think the basics are more sturdy to be honest. Elites look great for display purposes much like my Hogan/Sting figures but to play with... I 100% always avoid them, thats why ive ordered a basic Sting figure and looks to get a basic Hogan figure to play with |

Unless the basic has long tights I think they look ridiculous. Even Jericho made fun of his own basic recently. "Three cheeked ass" lol
